A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO HARDWARE FUNDAMENTALS Embedded Systems Hardware for Software Engineers describes the electrical and electronic circuits that are used in embedded systems  their functions  and how they can be interfaced to other devices. Basic computer architecture topics  memory  address decoding techniques  ROM  RAM  DRAM  DDR  cache memory  and memory hierarchy are discussed. The book covers key architectural features of widely used microcontrollers and microprocessors  including Microchips PIC32  ATMELs AVR32  and Freescales MC68000. Interfacing to an embedded system is then described. Data acquisition system level design considerations and a design example are presented with real-world parameters and characteristics. Serial interfaces such as RS-232  RS-485  PC  and USB are addressed and printed circuit boards and high-speed signal propagation over transmission lines are covered with a minimum of math. A brief survey of logic families of integrated circuits and programmable logic devices is also contained in this in-depth resource. COVERAGE INCLUDES: Architecture examples Memory Memory address decoding Read-only memory and other related devices Input and output ports Analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters Interfacing to external devices Transmission lines Logic families of integrated circuits and their signaling characteristics The printed circuit board Programmable logic devices Test equipment: oscilloscopes and logic analyzers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67931907227701,"sku":"ByrdShop_0071639489","price":100.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780071639484.jpg?v=1794219041","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/embedded-systems-hardware-for-software-engineers-9780071639484","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
